A RAT is a Remote Administration Tool that gives an attacker the means to manipulate and control a target machine from a remote location over the internet. A RAT gives the attacker full control of the compromised machine and is used for malicious purposes. RATs typically consist of two components: a server application that resides on the target machine and responds to remote commands; a client application that is used by the attacker to control and configure the server applications on compromised machines.

Elevated risks are typically installed without adequate notice and consent, and may make unwanted changes to your system, such as reconfiguring your browser's homepage and search settings. These risks may install advertising-related add-ons, including toolbars and search bars, or insert advertising-related components into the Winsock Layered Service Provider chain. These new add-ons and components may block or redirect your preferred network connections, and can negatively impact your computer's performance and stability. Elevated risks may also collect, transmit, and share potentially sensitive data without adequate notice and consent.
